More About Wood Chippers, Shredders and Mulchers

Wood chippers can range in size from a small, 3 hp model that you can use in your own backyard, to a large, 1000 horsepower chipper that is pulled behind a truck. Many professional tree trimming companies take a wood chipper along to their work sites to chop up the branches that are left over from a job. These wood chips are then loaded into a dump truck and sold for use in gardens, which gives them another source of revenue beyond just the tree trimming.

A mulcher is a similar machine which takes leaves and other garden debris and breaks it down. This mulch is then used most often to add to composters or allowed to age, then it can be used as nutrients for soil.
